Story behind the song
Malaysia was once a well respected, progressive Islamic country. Not any more. Killed by corrupt power-grabbers belonging to a political party called Barisan Nasional. The Opposition leader and one time Deputy Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim (picture) who was wrongfully put in jail accused of sodomy. He faces another trial of sodomy based on trumped up evidences...the government is determined to jail him so that they can win fixed elections again. I wrote this song to show my frustration! I am trying to send this to Anwar Ibrahim.
Lyrics
Pain and Rise Copyright Stan Loh May 13, 2011 Verse 1 What is justice when your law applies, By the colour of your skin, When your truth is a pack of lies, When your stolen wealth rankles in ... yet you must … Gain! Digging for billions more, Gain! Siphoning evermore, Gain! Through devious backdoors…gain! Verse 2 When your talons clutch our backs. It’s better if lives are short, Your double standards all attack, Our wretched souls in court … we cry out … Pain! Today your children pay, Pain! What is their debt today? Pain! Why can’t they lose these chains! Pain! What is our guilt today? Pain! Your bamboo judges sway, Only your cronies gain … Bridge We are not cowards, marching forward, To solve and win back our confidence, For underneath creeps a silent strength, Where man helps man, linked hand in hand! Chorus Oh Rise! Everyone must arise… Rise! Lift up our darkened skies, Make our peace arrive … Oh Rise! Everyone must … Arise! Lift up our darkened skies, Make our peace arrive … Oh Rise! Everyone must … Arise! Lift up our darkened skies, Make our peace arrive …
